Chapter 266 Hypocritical guy
After Albert got the note from Professor McGonagall to borrow a book in the restricted area, the task of "Magic Forbidden Area" on the panel only needs to be borrowed once to complete the task. Originally, Albert thought he needed to start with Gilderoy Lockhart, but now he can do it ahead of schedule.
Albert walked out of the library and saw Fred, George and Lee Jordan standing in the corridor outside with resentful faces, waiting for him. After seeing Albert, the three of them immediately rushed up and surrounded him. .
“That wasn’t true just now, was it?” Fred said anxiously.
"Oh, you're talking about confinement!" Albert looked at Fred and the three of them suddenly, suppressed a smile and shook his head: "I just went to Professor McGonagall's office. Before I left, She asked me to bring you a message."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked unhappy. They didn’t expect that after working so hard to copy homework, they would end up in solitary confinement?
“I told you that you should do your homework well. Professor McGonagall is very dissatisfied with the way you handled your holiday homework.” Albert shook his head repeatedly and made sarcastic remarks.
“Merlin’s beard, that’s not funny.” Lee Jordan looked like he was going crazy.
"By the way, there is a Potions class tomorrow, so you'd better not take any chances, otherwise Snape will definitely be willing to put you in solitary confinement." Albert did not forget to remind the three of them.
"Oh, shut up! We are unlucky enough now." George couldn't help but screamed. Albert's broken mouth said exactly what he said.
Facts have once again proved that Albert’s broken mouth is more accurate than prediction.
The next day, the three of them were really unlucky because they did not follow Albert's advice to seriously redo Snape's holiday homework. The Potions Master broke the bad news just before the end of class.
A total of five unlucky guys were imprisoned, and Albert's three roommates were among them.
George was so frightened that his hands shook, and the test tube containing the swelling medicine was shaken to the ground. The liquid splashed everywhere, burning holes in Fred's robe and boots next to him.
As soon as the swelling potion came into contact with the skin, their skin immediately swelled up. Snape angrily scolded George and asked them to go to the school hospital to seek treatment from Madam Pomfrey after class.
Actually, it can be cured by just adding some anti-swelling agent. Snape also prepared this potion, but he didn't give it to Fred and George. Otherwise, it would only take a few seconds to solve it, so why bother Madam Pomfrey?
“Write a paper on swelling potions and anti-swelling agents, 1 foot, and hand it in next class.” Snape cruelly announced that he had finished his homework before dismissing everyone.
“Homework, a lot of homework, I feel like I’m going to collapse!” Outside the school hospital, Lee Jordan wailed in pain. He felt like he was almost driven crazy by the pile of homework.
“Stop shouting, otherwise Madam Pomfrey might come out and cause trouble for you.” Albert glanced at Lee Jordan angrily. This guy brought it upon himself, who’s to blame.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the campus hospital suddenly opened, which startled Li Jordan.
However, they soon discovered that it was Fred and George who came out of the school hospital. Both of them were in a low mood, probably because they were overwhelmed by a lot of bad luck.
“I feel like I’m going crazy with homework right now!”
The three of them looked at Albert pitifully, and it was obvious what they wanted to say.
"You have to do your homework by yourself." Albert said angrily as he passed the corner, "Don't think about it, you have been targeted by the professors, don't take any chances, otherwise I will be unlucky with you. "
“Then what should we do?”
“Let’s do our homework together during the break!” Albert thought for a while and said, “We will look for information together and write the paper faster.
“Okay, that’s all.”
"I have something else to do. I have to go find Professor Smith. You go to the auditorium first." Albert handed the backpack to Fred, waved and turned to another corner.
On the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, he met an acquaintance. Albert stepped forward to say hello to Katrina. However, the way Miss McDougal looked at him seemed...a little weird.
“What’s wrong?” Albert asked, raising his eyebrows.
“Nothing!” Katrina hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help her curiosity and asked: “Are you really getting along with Isobel?”
"Listening less to gossip news will affect a person's IQ and judgment." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and interrupted Katrina angrily.
“The unicorn wood carving amulet you gave is very beautiful.” Katrina’s tone became even weirder.
"That's a gift in return. She taught me a practical magic last time." Albert looked at Katrina with the same strange tone, "By the way, you seem to care about this matter? Could it be..."
"No, I'm just curious." Katrina said immediately.
Albert felt funny, and Nia did the same thing occasionally.
“Then I’ll give you a birthday gift next time.” Albert winked at Katrina and said tentatively, “What kind of wood carving do you want?”
“Are you coming to see Professor Smith too?” Katrina found herself being led by Albert and immediately changed the subject.
“Forget it if you don’t want it.”
“I hate your coaxing tone.” Katrina discovered for the first time that Albert and Isobel had many similarities.
Obviously there is not much difference in grade between them, but I am always treated as a child. That feeling is really annoying.
"Oh, well, I thought we could become good friends." Albert said with regret.
"We are already friends now, you said it yourself last year." Katrina reminded.
“I mean further?”
“Go further?” Katrina’s cheeks turned slightly red and she looked at Albert defensively.
"Well, we were just classmates before, but now we can be called good friends." Albert's bad taste broke out again.
“What’s the difference?” Katrina was confused.
"Yes." Albert said nonsense seriously, "There is actually no difference between classmates and passers-by. Friends are a further step in the relationship. They will send each other Christmas gifts and birthday gifts."
"Then, do you want to say that a friend can be a boyfriend or girlfriend?" Katrina sneered, "You still like to deceive others."
“It’s not a lie.” Albert shrugged innocently, “I’m telling the truth.”
Katrina snorted coldly, stretched out her hand and knocked on the wooden door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
After a moment, Professor Smith opened the wooden door, looked at the two people standing outside the door, his eyes fell on Albert, and asked with a smile, "Albert, how was the alchemy party?"
"It's very interesting, and there is a lot of gain." Albert thought for a while and said, "I may have found the answer to what happened last time."
“Oh, you have the answer so soon?” Professor Smith looked at Katrina and said, “I’m going to talk to Mr. Anderson about something private. Can you wait a moment?”
“Oh.” Katrina looked at Albert deeply, turned and left the office.
"The way to open the next secret door probably requires further research on ancient magic texts." Albert noticed that after Katrina closed the wooden door with her backhand, she briefly talked about the magic text masters and magic texts she met at the alchemy party. After discovering his own findings, he chatted a few more about his speculations.
“I suggest the professor ask Mr. McDougal for help.”
"Oh." Professor Smith looked at Albert and couldn't help but mentally sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
Actually, he had already thought about these things.
However, there are actually very few wizards who can truly be called masters of magic texts. Mog McDougal may be one, but their relationship is only average.
Furthermore, Professor Smith didn’t want too many people to know about the Ravenclaw treasure, so he pinned his hopes on Albert.
However, the results clearly deviated from expectations.
In other words, this is the result from the beginning.
Albert has exceeded Professor Smith’s initial expectations.
"Albert, I think you are also very talented in magic writing." Professor Smith said softly, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Professor, my time in contact with magic is still too short after all. Knowledge requires time to accumulate." Albert sighed softly, making himself look helpless.
“Work hard, I believe you will become a master of magic words like McDoug.” Smith encouraged.
"Katrina seems to have something to ask you, so I'll leave first." He bowed slightly towards Smith, "Please give me a few years. I believe I can help the professor open the secret door."
“I’ll trouble you then.” Professor Smith smiled.
